Help me choose some Midbass

[MikeG]

So, in my upcoming build I was going to use some Hybrid Unity components active in the front, but just came upon a great deal on some AudioFrog GB25 mids that I can put in the dash locations. My question is for the Midbass...I would love to put in some GB60 but they are outside of my current budget. One day I will replace this selection with some GB60s, but for now I need something.


My current budget is around $300 for the Midbass, my selection list currently consists of:


1. Audiofrog GS60
2. Dayton RS180
3. SB Acoustics SB17NRX2C35-4
4. Hybrid Unity Woofers


Also looking at other selections. I have to double check available mounting depth. It will be in a 2015 Sonata Sport.


Thanks for your input.

How about these ? 2 in each door , wired in parallel ?

If it were my money I'd either keep it in the family with the gs60's or give the Stevens mb6 a try. You'll love the gb25.

Disclaimer: I've never used or even heard either of the exact midbass drivers I suggested but on paper the mb6 looks way better to me as long as you don't cross too low trying to force it to be a subwoofer instead of just a midbass.

i'd definitely take the gs60 over the unity, which iirc is the imagine woofer with a dust cap. i ran the imagines in the past and the gs60 are hands-down a better driver (not hating on the imagines/unity or any other HAT product, still a fan of their products, but the audiofrog is just better).

i've heard the nvx rebrand of those sb acoustics and they are nice, but i think the gs60 is a better driver than them for midbass duties as well, and the gs60 will survive better in the car environment.

don't have enough experience with the rs180 to say either way, only heard them once several years ago and remember liking them but not sure how they compare. can say for sure that the gs60 will be an easier install though, being that they are a more typical mounting diameter & much shallower depth

Sub duties will be handled by 2 Audiofrog G10D4. If I have the space, I will definitely be considering the mb6. Also looking for a set of SI TM65 or possibly even the Anarchy if there is room.

Those g10's oughta get on up there pretty good. I had a sealed g12 in my Grand Cherokee and that thing was really nice on just 300rms.

Without too much hassle, you could use an ID X69 - you'll have 8" cone area but it should be easier to install in a 6.5" cavity
Power handling is high too - last ID Demo vehicle I heard had a Q1200.1 on each side

1. Audiofrog GS60 - recommend these. These will also have high resale value.
2. Dayton RS180 - didn’t use
3. SB Acoustics SB17NRX2C35-4 - I had the NVX X series (same driver) and this is a nice driver. Very similar tonality to the GB60 for midrange. Will need rain 1guards to survive in a car door.
4. Hybrid Unity Woofers - didn’t use

i own the GB60 paired with GB15 but I also own the JL C5 mid woofers which I feel are more on par with the AF GS60 and really like those too.

What is your size limit for the midbass?

The IDX by nines , like subwoofery said !
